Sub-keV dark matter can strongly ionize molecular clouds
Pedro De la Torre Luque, Pierluca Carenza, Thong T. Q. Nguyen
We show that the ionization of dense molecular clouds can be used to set strong constraints on dark matter models producing UV/X-ray photons in their annihilation or decay. We plac…
In-flight positron annihilation as a probe of feebly interacting particles
Shyam Balaji, Pierluca Carenza, Pedro De la Torre Luque +2
Core-collapse supernovae (SNe) provide a unique environment to study Feebly Interacting Particles (FIPs) such as Axion-Like Particles (ALPs), sterile neutrinos, and Dark Photons (D…
Anomalous Ionization in the Central Molecular Zone by sub-GeV Dark Matter
Pedro De la Torre Luque, Shyam Balaji, Joseph Silk
We demonstrate that the anomalous ionization rate observed in the Central Molecular Zone can be attributed to MeV dark matter annihilations into pairs for galactic dark ma…
